just noticed canola oil at costco is now cheaper than diesel. anyone running svo in a stock delica l400. was thinking of trying it during the summer when its hot. was thinking of running it up to 50% max

Just saw this while browsing on Youtube.--
It is about a Delica that runs using waste vegetable oil.

So I got a good supply of clean veg and was able to test out the system. It runs like a champ, but for some reason. idle s very low, about 500 rpm in gear. Out of gear fine. Any ideas?

Glad that was figured out. I had a diesel do the same things but not for the same apparent reason that is switching to veg oil would lower the idle noticeably but it was not due to a load on the engine. I attributed it to the fuel being harder to suck. But I've since learned that it's related to...

Any thoughts on specifics to look for when purchasing a Delica L400 that has been professionally converted already?

Anything that I should be aware of regarding owning/operating a diesel/WVO vehicle?

I understand that the engine/fuel lines need to be hot to switch to WVO and also that I should...

Sorry, I missed your question. If I have real heavy oil like gear oil I mix in a bit of gas but otherwise 50/50 oil to diesel mix works well. I wouldn't go any higher ratio with the oil. Starting at low temps is more difficult so reduce the mixture or add some gasoline. I have not tried this but...

Hey there, sorry to have not introduced myself here in wvo land despite being an active poster for 6 years on the l300 section. I've been on veggie for a while now. Several years. 50 thousand or so km. It's a full plantdrive kit with all the bells and whistles. Always runs good, I only use...

Looks to me like you're not purging enough. Always purge even if you are just running into the shops for 10 minutes. Any impurities settle out quickly when hot and sitting, so if you turn off the van with veg in the pump crud will settle out. No short trips on veg either or idling on veg for more...

Hey Everyone,
Not yet a Deli-cious owner, but really want to be! Been searching for a while now and I think I'm close, I'm only wondering now if this rig can be converted to WVO. Been doing some homework on the topic and I know it needs to have an IDI diesel fuel pump to get this conversion going,...

I have no practical experience with WVO conversions, but I believe on the VE-EDC engines they increased injection pressures over the mechanically controlled VE pumps, which would presumably require very clean...

Hi guys, I'm new here and not sure if I'm using the form right. I'm quite computer illiterate.
I recently bought a used 92 Delica l300 which had a wvo system installed, just needed some wiring. I finally got it all wired and working but shortly after I began to stall in veggie mode. It runs fine...

Adding diesal to Veg wouldn't do that ,you may have air in the system try bleeding it ,also does your system use a second pump to push the Veg from its tank to the values if so is it working ?

Power-loss issues on veggie - noticed that my VegMax (which is just in front of the right rear wheel, on the other side of the well) and Hotfox (tank in rear cab of vehicle) are not getting much or any coolant delivered to them.

First question you might ask is: is there enough coolant in...

Last post

Well I figured out my problem with coolant circulation to the rear veggie tank... as well as the location of my missing vice grip.

Yup... I had left a vice grip on a coolant line, enough coolant could get past, but not enough flow to circulate into the tank.

All the stuff you need to covert your diesel to a 2 tank WVO/SVO system. Willing to separate some parts. I've been running this set up in my F350 for 3 years now and over 100,000km. It works great, I just sold the truck to downsize and don't need it any...

I got tired of getting dirty oil from people on the road, so I build a mobile filtration station. I don't need it any more, so buy this for $250 and save your self time and money in filters. This runs off the battery in your van and will clean oil to 1 micron and pull out any excess water -- And it...

Does anyone out there sell processed veggie oil? Or better yet, is anyone interested in this arrangement: I collect and deliver dirty oil to you, you clean it, and we each keep 50%?

I'm currently living in my Deli full-time, so I have nowhere to do the processing myself - onboard processing would...

Our Pump and Filter system is capable of onboard filtering through a 1 micron bag filter housing, at about 4 litres per minute. Pump is 12v. Fairly compact. One family used it in a Delica all around USA and Canada.
